26, 1930, ch. 618,

par.). 412, Sec. 709, 58

Stat. 743.

-------------------------------

The authorization is restated to conform to the style of this

title. The word ''Executive agency'' are substituted for

''executive department, independent establishment'' in view of the

definitions in sections 103, 104, and 105. The source statute (an

act to authorize the appointment of employees in the executive

branch etc.) applied to the entire executive branch, and government

corporations as well as other agencies in the executive branch were

included within the words ''independent establishment''. The words

''or a military department'' are inserted to preserve the

application of the source statute. Before enactment of the

National Security Act Amendments of 1949 (63 Stat. 578), the

Department of the Army, the Department of the Navy, and the

Department of the Air Force were Executive departments. The

National Security Act Amendments of 1949 established the Department

of Defense as an Executive department including the Department of

the Army, the Department of the Navy, and the Department of the Air

Force as military departments, not as Executive departments.

However, the source statute for this subsection, which was in

effect in 1949, remained applicable to the Secretaries of the

military departments by virtue of section 12(g) of the National

Security Act Amendments of 1949 (63 Stat. 591), which is set out in

the reviser's note for section 301. The words ''for services in the

District of Columbia or elsewhere'' are eliminated as surplusage.

The reference to chapter 51 is substituted for the reference to the

Classification Act of 1923 because the Act of Oct. 28, 1949, ch.

782, Sec. 1106(a), 63 Stat. 972, amended the section to refer to

the Classification Act of 1949, which is carried into this title.

The proviso in former section 43 and former section 514d (2d par.)

are omitted as superseded by former section 22a, which is carried

into section 302. The last sentence of the Act of June 26, 1930, is

omitted as executed.

This section was part of title IV of the Revised Statutes. The

Act of July 26, 1947, ch. 343, Sec. 201(d), as added Aug. 10, 1949,

ch. 412, Sec. 4, 63 Stat. 579 (former 5 U.S.C. 171-1), which

provides ''Except to the extent inconsistent with the provisions of

this Act (National Security Act of 1947), the provisions of title

IV of the Revised Statutes as now or hereafter amended shall be

applicable to the Department of Defense'' is omitted from this

title but is not repealed.

Standard changes are made to conform with the definitions

applicable and the style of this title as outlined in the preface

to the report.

Pub. L. 103-226, Sec. 5, Mar. 30, 1994, 108 Stat. 115, as amended

Accounting Office.

''(b) Limitations on Full-Time Equivalent Positions. - The

President, through the Office of Management and Budget (in

consultation with the Office of Personnel Management), shall ensure

that the total number of full-time equivalent positions in all

applicable fiscal year of whether the requirements under

subsection (b) are met; and

''(2) notify the President and the Congress on the first date

of each quarter of each applicable fiscal year of any

determination that any requirement of subsection (b) is not met.

''(d) Compliance. - If, at any time during a fiscal year, the

Office of Management and Budget notifies the President and the

Congress that any requirement under subsection (b) is not met, no

agency may hire any employee for any position in such agency until

the Office of Management and Budget notifies the President and the

Congress that the total number of full-time equivalent positions

for all agencies equals or is less than the applicable number

required under subsection (b).

''(e) Waiver. -

''(1) Emergencies. - Any provision of this section may be

waived upon a determination by the President that -

''(A) the existence of a state of war or other national

security concern so requires; or

''(B) the existence of an extraordinary emergency threatening

life, health, safety, property, or the environment so requires.

''(2) Agency efficiency or critical mission. -

''(A) Subsection (d) may be waived, in the case of a

particular position or category of positions in an agency, upon

a determination of the President that the efficiency of the

agency or the performance of a critical agency mission so

requires.

''(B) Whenever the President grants a waiver pursuant to

subparagraph (A), the President shall take all necessary

actions to ensure that the overall limitations set forth in

subsection (b) are not exceeded.

''(f) Employment Backfill Prevention. -

''(1) In general. - The total number of funded employee

positions in all agencies (excluding the Department of Defense

and the Central Intelligence Agency) shall be reduced by one

position for each vacancy created by the separation of any

employee who has received, or is due to receive, a voluntary

separation incentive payment under section 3(a)-(e) (5 U.S.C.

5597 note). For purposes of this subsection, positions and

vacancies shall be counted on a full-time-equivalent basis.

''(2) Related restriction. - No funds budgeted for and

appropriated by any Act for salaries or expenses of positions

eliminated under this subsection may be used for any purpose

other than authorized separation costs.

''(3) Applicability of backfill prevention provisions to

agencies otherwise exempted from fte reduction. -

''(A) In general. - If any agency is otherwise exempted by

any law from the limitations on full-time equivalent positions

or the restrictions on hiring established by this section -

''(i) paragraph (1) shall apply to vacancies created in

such agency; and

''(ii) the reductions required pursuant to clause (i) shall

be made in the number of funded employee positions in such

agency.

''(B) Waiver authority. - In the case of a particular

position in an agency, subparagraph (A) may be waived upon a

determination by the head of the agency that the performance of

a critical agency mission requires the waiver.

''(C) Relation to other law. - No law may be construed as

suspending or modifying this paragraph unless such law

specifically amends this paragraph.

''(g) Limitation on Procurement of Service Contracts. - The

President shall take appropriate action to ensure that there is no

increase in the procurement of service contracts by reason of the

enactment of this Act (see Tables for classification), except in

cases in which a cost comparison demonstrates such contracts would

be to the financial advantage of the Federal Government.''
